8/10 Good
"Beautiful villa with a lovely pool and direct access to the sea which was a real bonus. Kitchen was a decent size and well equipped. Stella was very helpful and responsive. Only negative were the neighbouring properties which were somewhat unattractive and one of the bedrooms being in a basement with limited natural light. Nevertheless, I would recommend."

"Eine saubere, schöne Wohnung, groß genug und Kinderfreundlich in Lutterbek. Wir waren mit insgesamt 7 Personen in der Wohnung, davon 3 Enkeln. Zum Kochen war etwas wenig Platz in der Küche. Lutterbek ist für sich ein netter Ort, aber von dort aus kann man auch viel in der Umgebung unternehmen."

"Ver clean, lovely host, wonderful views, closer to Kouremenos Bch than Palaicastro was, in the middle of everything we wanted to see and do. Breakfast was good; wifi was having issues while we were there, but a bit of tolerance for the roads and the wifi of eastern Crete is a must."

Artemis Hotel

Artemis Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Artemis hotel is a truly special place - recently and beautifully renovated, nestled in lush gardens and right on the seashore - you can go from bedroom to beach in just 20 steps or less. Its tranquil setting with a private beach at the end of the bay from Makry Gialos, makes it feel secluded whilst still being a short walk from the harbour with its tavernas and cafes. The room we were in had a lovely view over the gardens and beach, and a balcony to enjoy the sunset from. Staff were all wonderful and we were received with warm and generous hospitality from the moment we arrived. They were especially helpful in assisting us with the Heraklion transfer. The Kima restaurant is also a lovely spot for a delicious meal while getting amazing views of the sunset across the bay. Try the Octopus! Thank you to all the Artemis staff for such an enjoyable holiday - we would love to come back."
